Brimsdown Football Club is a football club based in Brimsdown, London, England. They are currently members of the Spartan South Midlands League Division One and play at Wodson Park in Ware.

History

The club was established in 2013 when Lee Okugbeni, manager of the Kentish Town under-18 team, wanted the squad to progress to adult football; they were subsequently admitted to Division Two of the Spartan South Midlands League for the 2013–14 season.[2][3] The club finished second-from-bottom of the division in their first season, but the 2014–15 season saw them finish fourth.[3] However, Hale Leys United and Kent Athletic, who had finished first and second respectively, were unable to take promotion due to inadequate grounds, allowing Brimsdown to take promotion to Division One.[2]

Ground

The club initially played on the second pitch at the Downs in Enfield, before moving to Goldsdown Road in 2014 after Enfield 1893 vacated the ground.[2] In 2015–6 they groundshared at Enfield Town's Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, before moving to Haringey Borough's Coles Park in Tottenham in 2016, and then Ware's Wodson Park in 2018.
